Have you ever noticed condensation or “sweat” around your toilet bowl? Why does this happen?<\/p>\n

THE PROBLEM<\/a><\/p>\n

When the weather in Florida tends to be hot and humid and there’s a lot of moisture in the air. Meanwhile, the water entering the toilet tank can be comparatively cold. When the warm, moist air hits the cool porcelain toilet surfaces, the air condenses, turns to water and soon drips onto the floor.
\nAlthough a toilet sweats only on warm, humid days (which in Florida is MOST of the time), it can drop a surprisingly large amount of water in a very short time.<\/p>\n

So, toilet bowls sweat because the air around the toilet is considerably warmer than the temperature of the toilet water. This creates condensation and causes the toilet to sweat (NOT very appealing, or sanitary for that matter).\u00a0Having a sweating toilet bowl can cause mildew and mold growth in your bathroom and cause harmful damage to the surrounding floor!\u00a0\"Family<\/a><\/p>\n

There are “anti-sweat” toilet kit to insulate the tank and reduce condensation. Home improvement stores carry them for a “reasonable price”, considering you are prepared to get down and dirty to install it yourself. \u00a0You can be prepared to find installation instructions that will cause your commode to be out-of-commission for hours, requiring you to completely empty the water from the tank, then use a hairdryer to ensure that the sides are absolutely dry! \u00a0Then cut and apply a foam adhesive, let it sit for 6 \u2013 8 hours and it will be “ready to be refilled and useable” – IF you have installed it correctly and are able to have access to another bathroom for those HOURS you are waiting! These kits are inexpensive, seem easy to install and may be effective, but what happens if your seemingly simple install takes much longer or isn’t effective? Time to get to know your neighbors!?<\/p>\n

The second option is to install a “mixer valve” which uses both hot and cold water to \u201cmix\u201d \u2013 you can adjust the temp as you want until it stops the condensation issue. Depending on how far away the hot water heater is, it may take quite awhile for the hot water to get there. In some cases, just running a hot water line is sufficient. The average person would NOT want to try this at home.<\/p>\n

So how can you protect your family from potentially harmful mold and mildew?<\/p>\n
